Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Chicago Fire and Inter Miami meet in a major Eastern Conference battle at Soldier Field, with both teams sitting near the top of the standings and the playoff race becoming increasingly important.
Chicago enters the match in third place with 38 points from 22 games, while Inter Miami sits second and has a five-point advantage over the Fire heading into Wednesday’s matchup.

The Fire are also carrying considerable momentum into the game. Gregg Berhalter‘s team is unbeaten in its last six MLS matches, its longest unbeaten run since 2017. Chicago’s latest result was an entertaining 4-4 draw against Toronto FC on September 5, with Maren Haile-Selassie scoring twice and Robert Lewandowski contributing a goal and an assist.
That result extended Chicago’s unbeaten streak but also continued a pattern that has prevented the Fire from collecting more points. Chicago has dropped a combined 18 points after scoring first in MLS this season. Still, a victory against Miami would move the Fire to within two points of the Herons, making Wednesday’s game particularly valuable in the race for the top positions in the East.
